Type of Riding: english riding, some jumping and just pleasure hack. We started dressage spring 2012, it seems to be more our "thing", Charlie can be a bit lazy and although I wanted to jump, he isn't really into it.

My Horse's Achievements: I am proud of Charlie everyday, but what I love about him most is that he has no idea he is TB....He has a very kind heart and would never think of doing anything goofy when you are on his back, his manners are impeccable. He is the reason that Sterl May is still going strong, he keeps her moving when they are outside and when they are in, he is company for her across the stall door. I don't ride in the winter and when I tack him up in the spring he literally acts like I rode him yesterday, such an easy horse. Love him so much, lucky day for me when I found him. He was HOTD October 24, 2011. He was proud to be HOTM April 2012. He got HOTD for a second time October 25, 2012 Charlie was HOTD for 3rd time October 25, 2013 Charlie was HOTD for 4th time October 25, 2014 Charlie was HOTD for 5th time October 25, 2015 Charlie was HOTD for 6th time October 25, 2016

My Horse's Favorite Treat: carrots, apples, actually anything to eat, his appetite is great, recently found out they both LOVE pears.

My Horse's Favorite Things To Do: he loves to have his neck and belly scratched, he would stand there as long as you could do it.

Pet Peeves: He hates to get wet, eg. the rain, snow, he will tolerate a bath, but it is not fun!!

My Horse's motto: it's all about me, everybody loves Charlie.

How We Met

About 1 1/2 years after the heartbreak of losing my horse, Sassy Mac (Mackie) due to heart failure, he has a profile page Angel Sassy Mac. I started to look for a new horse with the help of my coach. I looked at probably 25 horses, everything I tried was nice, but nothing really got me excited. Finally my coach told me the problem was I was trying to replace Mackie, and that was never going to happen. She said I had to just pick a horse and fall in love with it after I got it home. I took offence to that remark, I have always believed that when the connection is there, you will know. I was not prepared to "just pick one" so I decided to stop looking for awhile. Two days later my coach called and told me about a horse she wanted me to see. I said NO, she proceded to tell me about him anyway, first, he was only 6, too young, he was a Thoroughbred, I didn't want a Thoroughbred and he was 16.2, he was a bit bigger than I wanted. But she insisted, the horse was fairly close to home, so I agreed to just go and look. I know some of you will understand this, when I walked into his stall and our eyes met. The connection was instant. It was the feeling I had been waiting for. I could not believe it, I forgot that he was big, and a Thoroughbred, I rode him that morning and fell in love. I called our Vet the minute I got home and asked for the pre purchase exam, Charlie was delivered the next week. He is just a very amazing horse. Love at first sight, it does happen!! Charlie was humanely euthanized, with me by his side, December 3, 2016, forever in my heart.

REMEMBERING CHARLIE..One year ago today I had to let my Charlie Bubbles go, it had been a horrible two days, we tried so hard to save him, but in the end he was too tired to fight anymore, I held him and told him how loved he was, my face and my voice were the last he saw and heard, not a day has gone by that I don't think about him, I miss him terrible. But I understand that as time goes by I will be able to think more of the fun times we had and not so much the pain of having to let him go.

Thank you to Marion for holding me up this past year and helping me see that there is a tomorrow, it has been a very tough year, he truly was the nicest horse I ever knew, Miss ya soo much buddy, Love always, Mom

Thank you all for remembering Sadie and for HOTD! Means so much. I'm sorry I'm never on anymore. So much has happened Trusting God and His will and timing. Everything is in His hands. Love you all and a vote.
